In appraising Indian English Literature, there is felt a dire need of criticism as a continuing exercise, taking up the contemporaneous as an outgrowth of its predecessors as well as examining the latter anew in the light of the former. The present Volume of the anthology incorporates this backward-forward critical movement, comprising scholarly reappraisal of the principal texts of Mulk Raj Anand, Raja Rao, R.K. Narayan, Manohar Malgonkar, Kamala Markandaya and Anita Desai. The collection employs the latest critical theories to re-examine, re-interpret and re-evaluate the old masters to arrive at a new perception of their present significance.
The Volume is an invaluable updated supplement to existing studies of Indian Writings in English for students, teachers, researchers and scholars.
